An Oklahoma court has ruled that the state health department cannot change gender designations on birth certificates. The decision limits the ability of transgender Oklahomans to update their documents to match their gender identity. The ruling adds Oklahoma to the list of states where legal battles over gender markers on official identification continue, and it is likely to face further challenges.
